Year 11 Physics

Module 2 | Dynamics

Content 1: Forces

Lesson 1 | Contact and non-contact forces

• using Newton’s Laws of Motion, describe static and dynamic interactions between two or more
  objects and the changes that result from:
  – a contact force
  – a force mediated by fields

Lesson 2 | Vectors

• explore the concept of net force and equilibrium in one-dimensional and simple two dimensional contexts using: (ACSPH050)
  – algebraic addition
  – vector addition
  – vector addition by resolution into components

Lesson 3 | Net force and equilibrium

• solve problems or make quantitative predictions about resultant and component forces by applying the following relationships:
  – $\vec{F}_{AB} = -\vec{F}_{BA}$
  – $\vec{F}_{x} = \vec{F}cos\theta ,\; \vec{F}_{y} = \vec{F}sin\theta$

Lesson 4 | Investigating motion with an inclined plane

• conduct a practical investigation to explain and predict the motion of objects on inclined planes (ACSPH098)
